You can also watch a trailer for the album below.

The inspiration for the album came when Cocker stayed in Hollywood’s Chateau Marmont hotel and discovered a baby-grand piano in the corner of his room. What if it could “sing” of the life stories and events it had witnessed?

The album was recorded by long-term Gonzales collaborator Renaud Letang at the Ferber Studios in Paris. The Kaiser Quartett, the Macedonian Symphonic Orchestra, flautist Nathalie Hauptman, French horn player Hasko Kroeger, soprano singer Maud Techa and film historian David Thomson all appear on the album.
